**James Tiernan Holds Off Late Charge at Lernerville** James Tiernan stayed composed in the closing laps to secure the feature win at Lernerville Speedway, leading 19 circuits and managing pressure from Joshua Burkey down the stretch. Tiernan controlled the race from up front, but Burkey kept the pressure mounting in the final laps — a battle that defined the second half of the main event at the dirt oval. The real story came from the back half of the grid. Trevor Royer put on a masterclass in racecraft, climbing from sixteenth starting position all the way to fourth, gaining twelve spots to earn hard charger honors. His charge showcased the kind of racing that keeps crowds on their feet — consistent passing, smart line selection, and relentless forward progress. Jake Sonnentag took pole position and won his heat, but couldn't convert that early speed into a feature result, finishing fifth. The consolation race went to Wade Fields, who earned his ticket to the main event and made his night count. Heat wins went to Sonnentag, Brandon Garman, and Ryan Wagonschutz, setting the grid for what became Tiernan's night to remember.
